The invention relates to new substituted triazolinones, several processes for their preparation and their use as herbicides and plant growth regulators.

It is known that certain nitrogen-heterocyclics, such as, for example, imidazolidin-2-one-1-carboxylic acid isobutylamide (compare, for example, K.H. Buchel "Pflanzenschutz und Schadlingsbekampfung" ("Plant Protection and Pest Control") page 170, Thieme Verlag Stuttgart 1977) or 1-phenyl-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methyl- perhydropyrimidin-2-one (compare, for example, European Patent 58,868 or DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,237,479) have herbicidal properties.

However, the herbicidal activity of these already known compounds against problem weeds, like their tolerance towards important crop plants, is not always completely satisfactory in all fields of use.

Certain substituted triazolinones, such as, for example, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-isopropylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbam-oyl)-3-ethylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3isopropythio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-ethylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-methylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-one, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-propylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline5-thione, 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-allylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, and 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-3-methylthio-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione, are furthermore known (compare DE-OS (German Published Specification) 2,707,801). Nothing is as yet known of an activity of these already known triazolinones as herbicides or plant growth regulators.

New substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I) ##STR3## in which R¹ represents hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkylalkyl or cycloalkyl, or represents in each case optionally substituted aralkyl or aryl,

R² represents a radical ##STR4## or represents a radical --S(O)_(n) --R⁷, R³ and R⁴ independently of one another each represent hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl, cyanoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl or alkoxycarbonylalkenyl, or represent in each case optionally substituted cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, cycloalkenyl or cycloalkenylalkyl, or represent optionally substituted heterocyclylalkyl, or represent in each case optionally substituted aralkyl, aroyl or aryl, or represent alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkinyloxy, aralkyloxy or aryloxy, or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, represent an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical,

X represents oxygen or sulphur and

Y represents oxygen or sulphur, wherein

R⁵ and R⁶ independently of one another each represent alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkinyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl, or represent in each case optionally substituted aryl, aralkyl or heteroaryl, or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, represent an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical,

R⁷ represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl, or represents in each case optionally substituted aralkyl or aryl and

n represents the number 0, 1 or 2,

but wherein R2 only represents a radical --S(O)_(n) --R⁷ if R³ and R⁴ do not simultaneously represent methyl,

have been found.

It has furthermore been found that the new substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I)

in which

R¹, R², R³, R⁴, X and Y have the abovementioned meaning,

are obtained by a process in which

a) 1-chloro-(thio)-carbonyltriazolinones of the formula (II) ##STR5## in which R¹, R², X and Y have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with amines of the formula (III) ##STR6## in which R³ and R⁴ have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent, or

b) in the case where R³ denotes hydrogen, by a process in which triazolinones unsubstituted in the 1-position, of the formula (IV) ##STR7## in which R¹, R² and X have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with iso(thio)cyanates of the formula (V)

    R.sup.4 --N═C═Y(V)                                 (V)

in which

R⁴ and Y have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of a reaction auxiliary.

Finally, it has been found that the new substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I) have herbicidal and growth-regulating properties.

Surprisingly, the substituted triazolinones of the general formula (I) according to the invention exhibit a considerably higher herbicidal potency against problem weeds than the nitrogen-heterocyclics known from the prior art, such as, for example, imidazolin-2-one-1carboxylic acid isobutylamide or 1-phenyl-3-(3-trifluoro-methylphenyl)-5-methyl-perhydropyrimidin-2-one, which are closely related compounds chemically and from the point of view of their action and moreover also have growth-regulating properties.

The chloro(thio)carbonyl triazolinones of the formula (II) are not yet known.

They are obtained by a process in which triazolinones which are unsubstituted in the 1-position, of the formula (IV) ##STR15## in which R¹, R² and X have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with (thio)phosgene of the formula (VI) ##STR16## in which Y has the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, toluene or acetonitrile, and if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent, such as, for example, triethylamine, at temperatures between +20° C. and +150° C., and alternatively chloro(thio)carbonyl compounds of the formula (IIa) ##STR17## in which R¹, R⁵, R⁶ and Y have the abovementioned meaning, are also obtained by a process in which aminoguanidinium hydrochlorides of the formula (VII) ##STR18## in which R¹, R⁵ and R⁶ have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with twice the molar excess of (thio)phosgene of the formula (VI) ##STR19## in which Y has the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, toluene or acetonitrile, and if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent, at temperatures between +20° C. and +150° C.

The aminoguanidinium hydrochlorides of the formula (VII) are obtained by a process analogous to known processes, for example by a procedure in which the generally known ureas of the formula (VIII) ##STR20## in which R¹, R⁵ and R⁶ have the abovementioned meaning, are initially reacted in a 1st stage with (thio)phosgene of the formula (VI) ##STR21## in which Y has the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, toluene or acetonitrile, at temperatures between +10° C. and +150° C., and the formamidine hydrochlorides thus obtainable, of the formula (IX) ##STR22## in which R¹, R⁵ and R⁶ have the abovementioned meaning are reacted in a 2nd stage with hydrazine hydrate, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, isopropanol or methylene chloride, at temperatures between -10° C. and +60° C. (compare, for example, J. org. Chem. 19, 1807 [1954]; Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1975, 1649; and U.S. Patent 2,845,458).

In this formula (IV), R¹, R² and X preferably represent those radicals which have already been mentioned as preferred for these substituents in connection with the description of the substances of the formula (I) according to the invention.

The triazolinones of the formula (IV) which are unsubstituted in the 1-position are known in some cases (compare, for example, Chem. Ber. 102, 735 [1969]; Chem. Ber. 107, 454 [1974]; Arch. Pharm. 307, 509 [1974]; Helv. Chim. Acta 63, 841 [1980]; U.S. Pat. No. 4,098,896; U.S. Pat. No. 4,110,332; U.S. Pat. No. 4,530,898; DE-OS (German Published Specification) 2,250,572; J. chem. Soc. C. 1967, 746; J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. I, 1059 [1982]; Arzneimittel Forsch. 27, 343 [1977]; Compt. Rend. 253, 1974 [1961]; Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1963, 144; and French Patent FR M 1,559 of 3.12.62). The known as well as the unknown compounds of the formula (IV) are obtained by a process analogous to known processes (compare, for example, J. org. Chem. 51, 1719 [1986]; U.S. Pat. No. 4,098,896 and the preparation examples). Triazolinones which are unsubstituted in the 1-position, of the formula (IVa) ##STR23## in which R¹, R⁷ and X have the abovementioned meaning and

m represents the number 1 or 2, are obtained from the corresponding compounds of the formula (IVb) ##STR24## in which R¹, R⁷ and X have the abovementioned meaning, in the generally known manner with customary oxidizing agents, for example by reaction with 3-chloroperbenzoic acid, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, methylene chloride or acetonitrile, and if appropriate in the presence of a catalyst, such as, for example, ammonium molybdate, at temperatures between 0° C. and 40° C.

The iso(thio)cyanates are generally known compounds of organic chemistry (compare, for example, Saul Patai, "The Chemistry of Cyanates and their Thio derivatives" J. Wiley & Sons, New York 1977).

Possible diluents for carrying out process (a) according to the invention are the inert organic solvents.

It is also possible for the amine of the formula (III) used as the reaction partner to be used simultaneously as the acid-binding agent in an appropriate excess.

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range in carrying out process (a) according to the invention. The reaction is in general carried out at temperatures between 0° C. and +150° C., preferably at temperatures between +10° C. and +80° C.

Process (a) according to the invention is usually carried out under normal pressure. However, it is also possible for the process to be carried out under increased pressure.

For carrying out process (a) according to the invention, in general 1.0 to 5.0 mols preferably 1.0 to 2.5 mols of amine of the formula (III) and if appropriate 1.0 to 2.5 mols of acid-binding agent are employed per mol of 1-chloro-(thio)carbonyl-triazolinone of the formula (II). The reaction is carried out and the reaction products are worked up and isolated by a process analogous to generally known processes.

Possible diluents for carrying out process (b) according to the invention are likewise inert organic solvents. The diluents mentioned for process (a) are preferably used.

If appropriate, process (b) according to the invention can be carried out in the presence of a basic reaction auxiliary. Possible reaction auxiliaries are all the customary inorganic and organic bases. Bases which are preferably used are tertiary amines, such as triethylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, diazabicyclooctane (DABCO), diazabicyclononene (DBN) or diazabicycloundecene (DBU).

However, it is not absolutely essential to add such catalysts.

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range in carrying out process (b) according to the invention. The reaction is in general carried out at temperatures between 0° C. and +150° C., preferably at temperatures between +40° C. and +120° C.

Process (b) according to the invention is usually carried out under normal pressure. However, it is also possible for the process to be carried out under increased pressure, especially in the case of gaseous starting compounds.

For carrying out process (b) according to the invention, in general 1.0 to 5.0 mols preferably 1.0 to 2.5 mols of iso(thio)cyanate of the formula (V) and if appropriate 1.0 to 2.5 mols of reaction auxiliary are employed per mol of triazolinone of the formula (IV) unsubstituted in the 1-position. The reaction is carried out and the reaction products are worked up and isolated by a process analogous to generally known processes.

The active compounds according to the invention can be used as defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying broad-leaved plants and, especially, as weedkillers. By weeds, in the broadest sense, there are to be understood all plants which grow in locations where they are undesired. Whether the substances according to the invention act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used

The active compounds according to the invention can be used, for example, in connection with the following plants:

Dicotyledon weeds of the genera: Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver and Centaurea.

Dicotyledon cultures of the genera: Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis and Cucurbita.

Monocotyledon weeds of the genera: Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus, Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis, Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus and Apera.

Monocotyledon cultures of the genera: Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.

However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.

The compounds are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths and squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hopfields, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.

The active compounds according to the invention can thereby be used with particularly good success for combating mono- and dicotyledon weeds, in particular in monocotyledon crops.

The active compounds according to the invention moreover engage in the metabolism of the plants and can therefore be employed as growth regulators.

Experience to date of the mode of action of plant growth regulators has shown that an active compound can also exert several different actions on plants. The actions of the compounds depend essentially on the point in time at which they are used, relative to the stage of development of the plant, and on the amounts of active compound applied to the plants or their environment and the way in which the compounds are applied. In every case, growth regulators are intended to influence the crop plants in the particular manner desired.

The amount of leaf on plants can be controlled, under the influence of growth regulators, so that defoliation of the plants at a desired point in time is achieved. Such defoliation is of great importance in the mechanical harvesting of cotton, but is also of interest for facilitating harvesting in other crops, such as, for example, in viticulture. Defoliation of the plants can also be carried out to lower the transpiration of plants before they are transplanted.

When applied in appropriate amounts, the active compounds according to the invention also exhibit an insecticidal, bactericidal and fungicidal activity and can be used, for example, for combating hygiene and pests of stored products or for combating fungal diseases in cereals and rice-growing, such as, for example, against the mildew of cereal causative organism (Erysiphe graminis) or against the rice spot disease causative organism (Pyricularia oryzae). In this field of use, the active compounds according to the invention also show systemic properties, in addition to good protective properties.

Depending on their particular physical and/or chemical properties, the active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seed, and furthermore in formulations used with burning equipment, such as fumigating cartridges, fumigating cans, fumigating coils and the like, as well as ULV cold mist and warm mist formulations.

These formulations are produced in known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfaceactive agents, that is, emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents, and/or foam-forming agents. In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkyl naphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylsulphoxide, as well as water; by liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are meant liquids which are gaseous at normal temperature and under normal pressure, for example aerosol propellants, such as halogenated hydrocarbons as well as butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide; as solid carriers there are suitable: for example ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates; as solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, oorn cobs and tobacco stalks; as emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene-fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylenefatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, aryl sulphonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products; as dispersing agents there are suitable: for example ligninsulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations in general contain between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

The active compounds according to the invention, as such or in the form of their formulations, can also be used, for combating weeds, as mixtures with known herbicides, finished formulations or tank mixes being possible.

Possible components for the mixtures are known herbicides, such as, for example, 1-amino-6-ethylthio-3(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2,4(1H,3H)-dione or N-(2-benzothiazolyl)-N,N'-dimethylurea, for combating weeds in cereals; 4-amino-3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin5(4H)-one, for combating weeds in sugar beets and 4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one, for combating weeds in soy beans.

Surprisingly, some mixtures also exhibit a synergistic action.

Mixtures with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, bird repellents, plant nutrients and agents which improve soil structure, are also possible.

The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or in the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing or scattering.

The active compounds according to the invention can be applied either before or after emergence of the plants.

They can also be incorporated into the soil before sowing.

The amount of active compound used can vary within a substantial range. It depends essentially on the nature of the desired effect. In general, the amounts used are between 0.01 and 10 kg of active compound per hectare of soil surface, preferably between 0.05 and 5 kg per ha.

When used as growth regulators, the active compounds according to the invention can likewise be present in the formulations as a mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides and herbicides, and also as mixtures with fertilizers and other growth regulators.

The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or as the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, foams, suspensions, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusting agents and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, scattering, dusting, foaming, coating and the like. Furthermore, it is possible to apply the active compounds in accordance with the ultra-low volume process or to inject the active compound preparation or the active compound itself into the soil. It is also possible to treat the seeds of plants.

The amounts thereby applied can likewise be varied within a substantial range. When used as growth regulators, 0.01 to 50 kg, preferably 0.05 to 10 kg, of active compound are generally used per hectare of soil surface.

As regards the time of application, the growth regulators are applied within a preferred period of time, the exact definition of which depends on the climatic and vegetative circumstances.

USE EXAMPLES

The compounds shown below were employed as comparison substances in the use examples which follow: ##STR305##

Imidazolindin-2-one-1-carboxylic acid isobutylamide (known from K.H. Buschel, "Pflazenschutz und Schadlingsbekampfung" ("Plant protection and pest control") page 170, Thieme Verlag Stuttgart 1977) ##STR306## 1-Phenyl-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methylperhydropyrimidin -2-one (known from European Patent 58,868)

EXAMPLE A Pre-emergence test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Seeds of the test plants are sown in normal soil and, after 24 hours, watered with the preparation of the active compound It is expedient to keep constant the amount of water per unit area. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation is of no importance, only the amount of active compound applied per unit area being decisive. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)

100%=total destruction

In this test, for example, the following compounds according to the invention exhibit a clearly superior activity compared with the prior art: 2, 10, 14, 39, 43, 48, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, 65, 68 and 71.

EXAMPLE B Post-emergence test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Test plants which have a height of 5-15 cm are sprayed with the preparation of the active compound in such a way as to apply the particular amounts of active compound desired per unit area. The concentration of the spray liquor is so chosen that the particular amounts of active compound desired are applied in 2,000 1 of water/ha After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)

100%=total destruction

In this test, for example, the following compounds according to the invention exhibit a clearly superior activity compared with the prior art: 1, 2, 10, 14, 17, 32, 34, 36, 37, 39, 43, 50, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, 65 and 68.

EXAMPLE C Defoliation and desiccation of the leaves of cotton

Solvent: 30 parts by weight of dimethylformamide

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of polyoxyethylene sorbitane monolaurate

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier and the mixture is made up to the desired concentration with water.

Cotton plants are grown in a greenhouse until the 5the secondary leaf has unfolded completely. In this stage, the plants are sprayed with the preparations of active compound until dripping wet. After 1 week, the shedding of leaves and the desiccation of the leaves are rated, in comparison with the control plants.

The figures of merit have the following meanings:

0 denotes no desiccation of leaves, no shedding of leaves

+ denotes slight desiccation of the leaves, slight shedding of leaves

++ denotes severe desiccation of the leaves, severe shedding of leaves

+++ denotes very severe desiccation of the leaves, very severe shedding of leaves.

In this test, for example, the following compounds according to the invention exhibit a clearly superior activity compared with the untreated control: 15, 17, 32, 43, 48, 54, 56, 57 and 58.
